(RAME) Review: Winter of 1849
CD Man
(1976)
Peckinpah meets porno in this moody existential western (directed and
starring someone named RIK TAZINER), set in The Winter of 1849, in which the
expression "Ride 'em, cowboy!" takes on an entirely different meaning.
Lost in a vast frozen wasteland, three grubby, escaped convicts, Curt, Zeke,
and Lenny, make for the cabin of old Ezra and Martha where they expect to
find "a nice warm place to sleep, and good grub." But old Ezra is defunct,
and Martha now lives alone in the "God-forsaken wilderness" with her two
sisters, strawberry blonde Middle Sister and Virginal Beth. Though Zeke can't
wait to eat "some o' those fine vittles," this is a porno flick, ladies and
gentlemen, so when the three desperados arrive at the snowbound cabin,
everybody chows down on groins, not grub.
Curt, a boozy, grizzled, eye-patched sonofabitch who belches when he cums,
almost instantly screws the more-than willing Middle Sister, then rapes
Virginal Beth whereupon Middle Sister shoots Curt which causes Curt to
strangle Middle Sister, all of which ends up with both of them buried under
the snow out back.
The cabin is thus left to Zeke and Martha, and to Lenny and Beth, who all do
what one would expect them to do after the dual tragedy of rape and murder.
They fuck. After all, "with two good men around here, everything could get
the right kind of care!" Especially since Martha (ANDREA TRUE) is "some kind
o' woman." What kind? The kind that "gets a man so het-up, he'd do
anything."
And Beth... Well, Beth is about as damn close as we'll ever get to real
virginal innocence in a porno flick. When she licks on Lenny's log, it
really seems like the fist time for her. A major, major turn-on, folks! When
Lenny slips it in, she purrs "lt's so good! It fits so perfect! Just as I
imagined in my dreams!" And I believe her!
Lenny (JOHN SEEMAN) looks like a modern-day CPA dressed up for Halloween,
but the rest of the cast, as well as the landscape, all feel like the
genuine article. So much so that the wind is heard howling coldly throughout
the movie, even during the fucking scenes inside the cabin.
It's not often one gets to see cowboys and cum shots in the same film and
The Winter of 1849 is a kind of dirty western that'll be popular with the
70s cult collectors
